Organisers have clearly worked very hard to build their line-up for 2018, with the festival due to be held on June 21-24 next year.

Four more acts have also been confirmed for the Isle of Wight Festival 2018, with The Script, Van Morrison, James Bay and Blossoms all set to play.

After putting on three iconic events from 1968 to 1970 – which saw such legendary names as Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and The Doors perform to hundreds of thousands of people – the festival was revived 32 years later, and has been held every year since.

Speaking about the newly-confirmed batch of acts, the festival’s promoter John Giddings remarked: ‘This year’s line-up brings together the best bands of the moment.

‘This is a special year as it celebrates 50 years since the festival’s first incarnation so it’s fantastic to celebrate with returning artists and those appearing for the first time.’

A very, very decent line-up, then – and if those names alone have persuaded you to get a ticket for next year then you’re in luck: tickets are back on sale right now.

With weekend tickets starting at £209 (and just £150 for teenagers), you can find full ticket information here and start your planning for the 2018 festival season.
